I have new products to open tonight :j:j all from my stash of course New shampoo, new conditioner and new body wash (all Miss Cole) - is it sad that I'm quite excited about using a complete matching set :rotfl: I'm even going to use the Miss Cole BB when the one I'm using is gone

Not likely to be around again until after holiday - have final exam tomorrow, meal with everyone afterwards and then its pretty much holiday times (that is if that volcano doesn't ruin everything!)

Take care all!

Dr_Roberto

Another UU- Elida conditioner WIBA yes but not my first first as I love TIGI but was going for cheap and cheerful for a few months. Back to the TIGI now through. Woohoo £80 in the pot now, not sure when I should start spending it, may just save until holiday time and use it towards my spends:money:

Good luck with your last exam Charlie!

Another UU- Dolce Gabbana the one perfume refill. WIBA yes good job as there's another 4 mini bottles to use up for the travel sprayer thingy.:)

Been trying to attempt starting a clear out/packing/ebay session today. Managed to put a load of stuff on eBay, chuck a few unwanted bits in a box and realise I've probably enough make up to last a life time! My friends always seem to get me the posh makeup sets as gifts but ive got so many now...must remember to try then way in advance of birthday and Christmas not to get more. Will be buying a house anyday now...as soon as we find the 'right' one so hopefully I can ask for housey things instead:)

[OffTopic]: (sorry)
Are any of you ladies BzzAgents? I'm doing my first trial for them and they've sent me some vouchers for Benecol. I'm testing their 'Buttery Spread'. OH has turned his nose up a bit (it's not Lurpack :rotfl:) but it tastes OK to me (if you can call four slices of toast just OK :eek:) it's very buttery - and good on toast
[/OffTopic]

Yes - me! It's my first campaign too and I also chose the buttery spread! Largely because I'm not the sort of person who ever uses these sorts of products and normally the only thing I would dream of putting on bread or toast is butter! I felt that would be a "proper" test of the stuff. Once I've got the time I'm going to try using it for a batch of Twinks Hobnobs too to see how it compares for baking. I did have a little taste of it earlier on and was surprised how much better it tasted than I expected too.

Charlie have a wonderful holiday and good luck with your exam! Sarah forgot to say above but I hope you have a lovely break too - and good luck with the dogs/train thing!

One IN and one UU to report:

IN: Boots Essentials Nail Varnish Remover - needed after finishing my last one the other week. I shopped around though to work out which was cheapest and this one was only £1.01 for a bigger bottle than most. Better still OH paid for that and something he bought for himself with his points and has forgotten I owe him the money so far!
UU: Avon Advance Techniques Hair Colour - this was the one sent to a lot of reps as a freebie - and I have to say I'm extremely impressed. My colour was Medium Copper Brown and my first reaction was to think it was a lot redder than I expected but looking at the box I'd say the colour was pretty true to the picture actually. It was easy to use, easily enough for my thick shoulder length hair, and best of all it didn't stain my scalp at all which in my experience is extremely unusual. WIBA? - yes, I would. In fact, I'm looking forward to trying some other colours too!

Well done on your clear out Living proof! That's a lotta stuff!!

UU - Champneys small body butter (love this!) and then used the tub to decant the SG daily smooth into it - that product is so lovely but much too thick for a tube, was getting very annoying to get out. I had to cut it up in 2 places to get it all out and there was LOADS left in it - another 3 full body applications - and I don't use sparingly!

Heard today that a very good friend had a suspected stroke at the weekend, am gutted. She is early 40s like myself and a very wonderful person. :(:( Hoping there won't be any lasting effects. A very firm reminder to enjoy every day....

Thanks for the travel set advice, looks like I've lots to choose from

Seems the primark set's good value being £1 for 3 bottles & some screw top pots but the bottles are 125 or 150ml so useless for hand luggage as they won't let you take containers over 100ml even if they're half full.

Can't believe how quick this weekend has gone. Feels like saturday today

Gosh, a stroke that young sounds awful. I hope she recovers OK juliebunny

mad_scientist

Sorry to hear about your friend juliebunny, I hope she recovers well.

Happy holiday wishes to everyone going away, not that I'm jealous, much.

Still no UU to report, but haven't bought anything either :j

I painted my nails last night with a gold urban decay polish and put the black Barry M topcoat on top. I like it, my nails look a bit like tiger stripes now!! Although I was too lazy to put on a basecoat and my varnish has already started peeling. That will teach me

I am determined to UU a Clinique body butter GWP size which I have found to be a very good handcream and the dregs of a Clinique superbalm before the end of May!
